Luis Enrique extends contract with Barcelona

Barcelona head coach Luis Enrique has signed a one-year contract extension with the European champions.

The former Barca and Real Madrid midfielder agreed terms on a deal which will keep him at the Nou Camp until 2017.

Enrique enjoyed a glittering first season at the club after returning to the Catalan capital, winning the Spanish League and the Spanish Cup before completing the treble with a Champions League victory over Juventus.

"We have sealed the renewal of Luis Enrique's contract until 2017, so we will have Luis Enrique for two more years," Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu told a news conference.

The 45-year-old had previously refused to commit himself to the club beyond the end of the current campaign.

"The truth is I don't know if I will continue (next season). The season isn't over yet, we have a long night ahead of us," he said ahead of the Champions League final on Saturday.

However, having matched the achievements of former boss Pep Guardiola in his first season, Enrique has put an end to the speculation and will continue at Barcelona for the next year, at least.
